• Directly own and execute project deliverables where appropriate, operating as a hands-on leader and also functional teams for execution.
• Coordinate execution across Product, Technology, Site Merchandising, Marketing, Analytics, Customer Experience, Operations, Finance, IT, and other relevant business functions.
• Proactively identify project risks, dependencies, resource constraints, and blockers and drive the decisions necessary to maintain momentum.
• Facilitate prioritization and tradeoff discussions when project demand exceeds available regional resources or conflicts with existing business priorities.
• Maintain a consolidated view of Global initiatives impacting the regional ecommerce organization, including project status, milestones, capacity requirements, risks, and upcoming deliverables.
• Provide clear and consistent project communication and reporting to working teams, Global partners, regional leadership, and senior stakeholders.
• Develop business requirements, business cases, presentations, project documentation, status reporting, and executive updates as needed to support decision-making and execution.
• Support testing, launch readiness, implementation, and operational handoff of new ecommerce capabilities and experiences.
• Identify opportunities to improve, simplify, or standardize processes and ways of working between Global and regional Ecommerce organizations.
• Build strong relationships across Global and regional teams, influencing stakeholders and driving alignment without direct reporting authority.
• Advocate for regional customer and business needs while supporting broader Global Ecommerce strategies, creating clarity and facilitating decisions when Global and regional priorities or requirements differ.
